Identify the conjunction in the following sentence:She rose early in ...
A conjunction's main function is to join or combine two clauses into a statement. In the given sentence, the clause "she had stayed up late last night" is subordinate/dependent as it depends on the main clause "She rose early in the morning" for its full meaning. The remaining word that's left behind is "although", and the clauses are separated by a comma hence it's easy to identify them as a clause each, also they're both grammatically correct. 'Although' combines them both, hence it's a conjunction. Specifically, it's a subordinating conjunction that is used for contrast-related sentences as the given sentence, which is contrast in meaning "rose early" and "stayed up late last night". Hence "although" is a conjunction and option A is correct. 'In' is a preposition as it links the noun "morning" to the verb "rose", without which the phrase "rose early the morning" sounds incomplete. It's a preposition, as it connects the noun to the verb, and does not connect the clauses, hence option B is incorrect. 'Rose' is a verb, it expresses the action of waking up, or rising, it does not connect the clauses, hence it's not a conjunction, and option C is incorrect. 'Early' is an adverb as it modifies the verb "rose". Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, and other adverbs. 'Early1 does not connect the clauses, the clause after 'early1 is grammatically incomplete, hence it's not conjunction. Option D is hence, incorrect.
